If you're into woodworking, you're probably familiar with epoxy as a popular material for filling gaps and inlay work. However, there's a natural alternative that's gaining popularity in the woodworking community - baking soda!

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a versatile material that can be used in a variety of woodworking applications, including inlay work. In this video, I'll explore the advantages of using baking soda over epoxy for inlay work in wood.

Firstly, baking soda is a more eco-friendly option compared to epoxy. Unlike epoxy, baking soda is a natural material that doesn't release harmful chemicals into the environment. Additionally, baking soda is readily available and affordable, making it accessible to everyone.

Secondly, baking soda is easier to work with than epoxy. While epoxy can be messy and difficult to clean up, baking soda is a dry powder that can be easily mixed with CA glue which can be used to fill gaps and create intricate inlay designs.

Finally, baking soda creates a strong and durable bond with the wood. When mixed with CA glue, baking soda creates a chemical reaction that results in a rock-hard substance that can withstand heavy use and wear.

** DISCLAIMER **
1. There is no magic mix ratio formula. Add as much pigment as you feel necessary to achieve your desired color
2. Fill in small increments --- powder, glue, powder, glue until you fill the inlay completely
3.. When sanding, don't get aggressive. The more aggressive you are with your sanding the more likely you'll be to gum up your paper
